RAILWAY TIME-TABLE.
(To the Editor of the Times.)
Sir,—For the past few years we have gradually been drawn more closely in touch with Gisborne, what with daily coaches and mails, which have teen a great boon to the residents oi this district, and we have been living in expectation of when the railway, opened to Ormond that we should reap some benefit—but we fail to see where it comes in if .the Department adheres to the present time-table. The drawback has teen T>y- going in by. the morning coach from Ormond that ‘we could not get into town in time for the opening of the S.M. Court-, or if any business to do, the time allowed for it was too short to return the same day. What I should suggest to the Railway Department is that the morning train should leave Gisborne at 8 a.m., starting again at 9 a.m. on its return from Ormond. That would give us a chance to do Court business and return the same day. 1 might state that I left Te Karaka the morning of the opening of the railway at 7.30 a.m., and arrived in Jots of time to catch the 9 o clock trains Hoping that someone with a more able pen than mine will advocate our, wants, I am, etc., TE KARAKA.
